"Wings Of Glass"

I am a full time artist living in Orlando Fl, with my husband and our family of 2 Shih Tzus.
Nature Scapes in acrylic are among my favorite things to paint and this blog will show the progress of my works in their different stages. Many of my paintings are created using multiple canvases to create a sculptural affect. If you have any questions you would like me to answer about my work or techniques, please let me know and I will be happy to blog about it.
I am also a busy jewelry artist and will be posting photos of finished pieces of interest.
I'll also be including lots of garden photos and other inspirational pictures along the way.

Egg Art

You know, it dawned on me lately, I need to paint more things that really bring me happiness. Sometimes you find yourself spending all your energies painting for other people but you forget to take the time for yourself, doing something that brings you joy. Eggs are one of those things for me, I just love painting them and I've decided that this year, I will make more of an effort to create more of them. These are 2 eggs I painted last week, complete and on their stands, ready to go.

This one is my Little Spring Bluebird, which has been painted on a turkey egg. I like to add a little sparkle to most of my eggs so I've attached Swarovsky crystals to some of the branches.

As you can see from this view, turkey eggs have a beautiful speckled design to their shells.

This one is my Pretty In Pink Rose. I've painted this rose in different shades of pink and I've surrounded it with purple filler flowers. I've also added some small pink crystals on this piece as well. This rose was painted on a duck egg and as you can see, this particular egg, has a very soft, pretty green tone to its shell.

I'm so dedicated to painting more eggs this year that I've opened an additional ETSY shop called Elegant Egg Art. In this shop, there will be no man made surfaces for me, I'm dedicating it to egg art and gourd birdhouses. I think they are two types of items that compliment each other nicely and of course, they both come from nature.
